Description of a Number of Beautiful sum-
mer Toilettes.

AS an illustration OF the varied WAYS
in which black is used, a French toilette
for afternoon receptions is of black
gros grain with double stripes, one of
which is leaf green and the other pale
rose color; this is made mp in one of
the new French coats with the basques
long behind, sewed on with seams
across the hips, and turned back to
show revers of black MORE; the fronts
slope away to disclose a vest of leaf
green camel s-hair fastened by small
black MORE straps. The high stan ding
collar is of the green wool at the top,
with the striped silk bias on the lower
half. A point of the green wool is in
serted like a cuff in the sleeves, and
strapped with MORE. The full skirt is
in long pIaits varied in front and back,
with revers of the black MORE and in
laid spaces of the green wool. An
other Paris dress for Newport is Of
summer Bengaline of a creamy ground
barred with vines of small flowers in
pink, brown and dark red hues. This

breadths, with deep gathered tlounce
of Maljnes lace around the foot, and
festooned up the left side with bows
and ends of black watered ribbon (twO
inches wide) set in the corners of the
festoons. The quaint over-dress is a
Marie AntOinette polonaise with short
curved panier on the left, quite far
back, and much deeper one on the
right side. The shorter basque front

arranged ON the neck as plated

ample frill down the front, and the
black watered ribbon reappears in
bow back of the neck, in another back
of the waist line, and in others on each
sleeve. Square pockets on the corsage
are puffs of Malines net and lace over
black ribbon, and the sleeves are SINH
larly finished. Black India silks striped
with white are made with a loose vest
of white embroidery plated at the top,
and the plaits gradually widening to
